The 1997 Research, Engineering, and Development (R,E&D) Plan is a 5-year calendar plan that provides research program descriptions in nine aviation thrust areas: Capacity and Air Traffic Management Technology, Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance; Weather; Airport Technology; Aircraft Safety Technology; System Security Technology; Human Factors and Aviation Medicine; and Environmental and Energy. This report provides a summary of the research efforts in each area and a brief explanation of the factors driving the current and planned work. It also provides background information on: the FAA process used to create the R,E&D portfolio of research programs, challenges for the National Airspace System which drive the need for research, descriptions of the inputs from the industry/academia R,E&D Advisory Group, and descriptions of how R,E&D is being coordinated with other federal agencies and industry. Lastly, the report shows how R,E&D efforts support and integrate with the FAA Strategic Plan and Capital Investment Plan.
